The Library’s language learning section has expanded recently with integration of the Language Centre’s holdings into the Continuing Education Library at Rewley House.   We have materials covering Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. 

Our language collections are available for borrowing by all members of Oxford University and to all members of OUDCE including short course students. Bodleian readers (who are not members of Oxford University or OUDCE) are also welcome to use the collection on a reference only basis.

Currently our language collections are split over two locations within Rewley House – the main library where language materials are shelved at 430-499 in the lower library (in both oversize and regular size) and in the Language Collections Temporary Annexe.  Ask staff in the Library for directions to the Annexe.   Over the coming months all the language materials will be brought together in the main library.
